| Now, who can stand The lost OF
all these requirements better than
DIR. Standiford2 Let the people OF
Kentucky answer this question,
and answer it they will, by electing
| him, through their next. Legisla-
tire, to the Senate of the United
States. For has not Or. Standi-
ford made a SUCCESS in liCe2 As
Midas of ancient times, it seems
that everything he touches turing to
gold the vast returns from his nu-
merous and well managed farms,
his cattle, as it were, that cover q
thousand hills, his immense and
valuable real estate, the large
amount Of taxes he annually pays
into the state and city treasurieB,
all, are CONCLUSIVE evidence of
this.-His administrative qualities
are unsurpassed. He can read men
as he can the printed pages. Ofthe
many employees in his service he
knows the individual worth and
qualifications Of each. There is no
jarring or clashing Of interests in
any of the many varied businesses
in which he is engaged, Did he
not come to the great l.. & n Rail-
road corporation in its darkest days
ofpecuniary embarrassment, take
charge of it in its financial distress
and by his skillful administration,
influence and personal effort, bring
capital to the rescue, prosperity to
the company and retired from its
presidency leaving it SUGGEST
The fiscal reports Of the company
will show this to be true beyond a
doubt. Every Investment he has
recommended to Eastern capital
lists, is to-day paying premium, TO
which they viii cordially testify,
This high position awarded to
him would be an endorsement, by
the people of Kentucky, of his in
tegrity, trustworthiness and qualifi-
cations placing him where he can
command the whole situation, and
in which he can gather about him
an irresistible influence. Thus be-
ing the accredited representative Of
the people, his suggestions will be .
more potent, his representations
will be invested with greater force
and will be more readily listened 10
and needed by those with whom he
would come in contact and who are
paying investments for
their capital for it ia capital that
is needed to bring about prosperity
to our state and people, but it is
not capital alone that he can inhu-
ence to come into the state for the
Development of her resources; but
he can and will, when he sees his
way clearly, endeayor to legislate
through Congress, SHAT is ,
practically for the best interests of
Kentucky and the whole country
This position, which has 50 long
1een held by Others without in the
east relieving the state from the
BURDENS beneath which she groans
n agony, or without adding one
ota to her development or advance
nent, but have kept her treasures
hidden away, as it were, in a nap
kin. This position OF honor, inau-
,nce, trust, the people of Kentucky
demand for DR.. E D. Stamford
lot to advance his financial inter-
,sts, for Of gold and silver he has
llready more than generally falls
o the lot of one man; not for his
political preferment, for of that he
,ares but little or nothing but for
he development OF Kentucky and
he advancement Of her deep and
Fital interests. The people demand
| change in their National represent
alton, because they have reason to
believe thatit will result beneficial
y to the best interests of the State,
Ind especially so if the representa-
ion and welfare of the people is
placed in the hands of DR.. Standi-
